Iola City Council members said they would look “cautiously and aggressively” in considering annexation of up to three subdivisions outside Iola’s city limits.
Council member Beverly Franklin said she was eager to see the city look at growth beyond the existing city boundaries.
Franklin was joined by a handful of supportive audience members, including Iolans Jim Gilpin, Donna Houser and David Toland, as well as Ken Gilpin and Don Diebolt, who live in or own property in subdivisions under discussion.
